- Mar 28, 2025, Affirmed5th Appellate Dist
Decision affirmed in a case involving a dock ownership and placement dispute between plaintiffs-property owners and defendants-neighboring property owners and homeowner’s association in which plaintiffs claimed conversion and sought declaratory relief. The trial court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of defendants was affirmed, as was the order granting association’s counterclaim for indemnification, where evidence shows that plaintiffs had acquiesced to the neighboring owners' exclusive control of the dock, which had been relocated entirely within the neighboring water space, and had not demonstrated ownership, thereby barring their conversion claim.
